Cybersense Teachersguide

Teacher's Guide This project was made possible by a financial contribution from Industry Canada’s SchoolNet Program © 2009 Media Awareness Network CyberSense and Nonsense: The Second Adventure of the Three CyberPigs Teacher's Guide CyberSense and Nonsense is the second online adventure of the three CyberPigs. In their first adventure, Privacy Playground, the pigs learn to protect their personal privacy online and to recognize Internet marketing ploys. This time, they explore the world of online chat rooms. In this game, Les, Mo and Lil Pig learn some valuable lessons about the authenticity of online information, as well as rules of netiquette. The game also addresses the problematic issues of online hate and stereotyping. This Teacher's Guide contains background information, discussion guides, activities and exercises that support the main "cyber-lessons" in the game. Both the game and guide are intended for personal or educational use only. Worksheets, handouts and activities in the Teacher's Guide may be reproduced for personal or classroom use without per- mission, provided the copyright notice remains intact. www.media-awareness.ca © 2009 Media Awareness Network 2 CyberSense and Nonsense: The Second Adventure of the Three CyberPigs Table of Contents Rationale 5 The Goal of CyberSense and Nonsense 5 Curricular Fits 5 Unit Objectives Knowledge 6 Skills 6 Values 6 Pre-Game Discussion and Activities Summary of the Game 7 Sequence One 7 Sequence Two 7 Sequence Three 7 Sequence Four 8 Sequences Five and Six 8 About Prejudice 9 Using the Internet 10 Communicating Electronically …
